Warwick Davis - Nikabrik - and BBC characters

Warwick played Nikabrik in Walden Media's Prince Caspian (2008).  Before that he played Reepicheep in BBC's Prince Caspian & Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and Glimfeather the owl in BBC's The Silver Chair.

Warwick is a well-known British actor who featured in Star Wars and Harry Potter, starred in Willow, and is the presenter of a UK TV quiz show.

Today the sad news was released to the media that Warwick's wife Samantha (Sammy) had died in March (their family and close friends have had time to grieve privately).   

Sammy founded the group Little People UK (United Kingdom) 12 years ago, and has been a major force for welcoming and encouraging members of all ages. She was a special friend to parents of young children with dwarfism, and in my three meetings with her I saw a woman who always had time and a smile for other people. I had the pleasure of meeting Sammy and Warwick in 2018 and 2019. This photo was 2018.

Sammy and Warwick have two adult children, both involved in acting. They are Annabelle (particularly known on TV dramas, and in the Disney series of Willow, playing Willow's now-adult daughter) and Harrison. Sammy also leaves behind her sister and their elderly dad (both stage actors).

So sorry to hear this sad news, Coracle — thank you for letting us know. RIP Sammy.

My condolences to the family. Hopefully, she's in a better place.

Very sad. But have set up a fund for helping younger children, called Sammy's Helping Hands. (I think that's it) to carry on her special interests
